Transcript
When reading about artifacts and documents from Bible times, watch for the similarities and differences. You might recognize names, places, or events from the Bible. Some of the myths, like flood or creation myths, may even sound familiar because the true account is recorded in the Bible.
But note the differences. The Bible doesn’t portray events as if they’re myths. It uses historical narrative. Unlike other ancient sources, the Bible presents one true God, the Creator. And in the Bible, God is the source of power, but in other documents, the gods are controlled by magic.
The Bible is different because its author is God.
